St. Carlo Acutis
An Italian teenager who loved video games, code, and the Eucharist in equal measure — and built a website cataloguing the world's Eucharistic miracles before dying of leukemia at fifteen. The Church's first millennial saint.
Reflect on St. Carlo Acutis
Carlo Acutis lived an ordinary teenage life — games, friends, code, soccer — turned entirely toward God, proof that holiness fits inside a normal day.
Reflection Questions
- 1
Carlo called the Eucharist his 'highway to heaven,' and said that as you tan by standing before the sun, you become holy by standing before the altar. In your own words, what was Carlo pointing to?
- 2
Carlo gave video games only one hour a week so he would not 'become a slave' to them. Where does your own time quietly slip away from what you say matters most?
- 3
Carlo said he never wasted a minute on what didn't please God. What is one ordinary part of this week — a chore, a class, an hour online — you could offer to God on purpose?
